How to Wear Neon Hair After 30

We know, you think you could never pull off neon hair -- but read on to see how easy (and pretty) it actually is

Wear neon underneath Follow my friend's lead, and color just the underneath pieces of your hair. A colorist will create a part that goes from behind your ears to across your head, and section it off. Then, he or she will apply the color on just the bottom section. "This placement is very chic and modern," says colorist Dimitrios Tsioumas at the Mizu salon in New York City of the look.

If your hair is blonde, then the colorist can apply bright dye directly onto it. If your hair is dark, it will have to be bleached before the colorful dye is applied. "The color fades quickly," says Huson. "So you may want to tell your colorist to go a little brighter at first." Then you can look forward to watching it transform from hot pink to baby pink over the next few weeks.

Great article! Yes, this option is really for the adventurous woman. But as a young-at-heart, happy and confident woman, I would love and feel very comfortable with a few strands of a pretty violet color ( not necessarily neon) tucked into my long black hair. At 41, I'm still rockin' my Adidas Gazelles and will NEVER apologize for it. It's all about personal style and expression.
I may just take the plunge after reading this!
